Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1/XML/Simple.pm line 963.

Why was that closed? I have the same issue.

[ekkis]

perhaps --debug will give you more of a clue as to what the issue may be?

I'm also getting a similar issue, except the issue is at line 980 and a "could not authenticate" with the "/usr/bin/afraid-dyndns" file

root@mediaserver:~# afraid-dyndns --debug

at /usr/bin/afraid-dyndns line 112.

Checking the Simple.pm file, it's failing under the "# If user did not supply a search path, default to current directory" section. For the /usr/bin/afraid-dyndns file, it's under the "# when these differ modify the DNS, cache the address and e-mail" section. Does anyone know anything that may help?

-thanks

line 112 is an attempt at requiring MIME::Lite, however, there should have been an error message stating that fact, so I'm a little at a loss. is the module installed?

[ekkis]

what happens is if you run perl -MMIME::Lite on the system?

[MIKKAZX]

Well it seems like I didn't have MMIME installed... Now when I run 'perl -MMIME::Lite', instead of telling me it's not installed, it just hangs and doesn't print any text.

And I've discovered I'm an idiot. I missed the 'supported operating systems' section in the readme. I'm running Ubuntu server. Might be why it's not working...

I'm sorry if I've wasted your time, thanks anyway!

[ekkis]

it should run on Ubuntu. perl is perl. if it just hangs, are you sure you're passing it the required parameters?

[MIKKAZX]

Sorry for the late reply, been busy. I ended up using a different client so I haven't needed to troubleshoot this one unfortunately. To answer your question, it's very possible I'm doing something wrong at my end and I just don't have the required knowledge to set it up correctly. Again, sorry to waste your time.
